Snowblower, anything else would be a joke for me. Don't have a blower on the cub, but I have a single stage on the simplicity and a two stage on the craftsman. Both 42". If it is fluffy the single stage will clean house, wide open in high gear and the stuff is gone. After the initial pass on heavy stuff pick a gear and take a pass just wide enough to load up the machine.
The two stage is different by all means. The augers will only feed so fast to the impeller. Usually run in first or second on a six speed. Take passes wide enough to load the machine and just chew. If the snow is light or not very deep, discharge to the front of the machine and low so as to build up enough heavy snow to launch the stuff.
Biggest storm was 30" in about 8 hours last year, overnight of course. 18" of wet snow at a whack is nothing out of the ordinary.
